The vision of the Tree of Life Foundation is to create a living experience of spiritually awakened, sustainable, healthy living for the individual and the planet. We serve to provide people of all faiths, religions, and spiritual paths a direct experience of what it means to live a quality of life that is healing on all levels–from the agricultural interests of our society to personal and emotional health and spiritual awareness.


The Tree of Life Foundation operates in conjunction with the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center. The Rejuvenation Center is a cross-cultural, vegan live-food, residential guest and student center which serves as a spiritual sanctuary, eco-retreat, vegan lifestyle educational campus and holistic medical spa. It supports people in creating an experiential foundation in full-bodied awakened living. The foundation is dedicated to charitable work including training peace workers and creating and sustaining projects to bring healthy, economically and ecologically sustainable living to people in need around the world.


The Living Essene way of life is an important non sectarian unifying cornerstone of the Tree of Life Foundation. The Foundation is fulfilling the deep yearning of all to live a quality of life that may be called "awakened normality" a life filled with Divine inspiration and the Sevenfold Peace: peace with the body, mind, family, humanity, culture, living planet, and the Divine Presence. Through participation at the Tree of Life, one comes to know that such an existence is real and embodies the joy of living in this way, creating a very culture of liberation, in turn inspiring the world around them. We are a human preserve for the experience of embracing a sacred quality of life and the awakening of consciousness. Everyday, 365 days a year, we live by way of example where guests, apprentices and staff alike share in the Tree of Life Spiritual Experience.
